English nominal structures of two and three formatives (e.g. black bird v. blackbird) were produced by three native and six Finnish speakers. Of the three acoustic parameters — F., overall intensity and duration (DR) — the native group uses F. and DR, while the Finnish speakers signal the distinction mainly with intensity and with a post-boundary change in DR. The DR cue is also to be found outside the NP-N phrase in native speech. The results are discussed with references to stress- and syllable-timed rhythm, sentence position and intonation, as well as with observations on the differences in laryngeal activity, phonological constraints on DR and word structure between the two languages, English and Finnish. Part II will test the perceptual validity of DR and F. among English and Finnish speaker-hearers
